lyrics

Quick bright things come to ruin
That’s why I never loved you
You can’t light my heart like a fuse
And expect it to rise and fall down red, white and blue

Quick bright things come to ruin
That’s why I never watched you
In the sky I never joined you
Cause the light was inside me and it was shared with someone else

I never chose you because
I don’t think that love should spit and flicker and die away
For the sake of another quick bright day with you

Quick bright things come to ruin
That’s why I never watched you
But you, you kept coming down like lightning
But the light was inside me and it was shared
